STRIKEPOINT INTERSECTS 72 G/T GOLD AND 55 G/T
SILVER OVER 1.33 METERS AT WILLOUGHBY
Vancouver, British Columbia — December 3 2019 StrikePoint Gold Inc. (“StrikePoint” or the “Company”)
(SKP:TSX.V)(STKXF:OTCQB) is pleased to announce the final drill results from the 2019 surface drilling
program from the 100%-owned Willoughby property located near Stewart in British Columbia’s prolific
Golden Triangle. The Company received final assays from the six remaining holes, three from the North
Zone, and three from the Wilby Zones. Assays from the previous six drill holes from the 2019 p rogram
were previously announced (See Strikepoint News Release, September 16 & October 10, 2019).
Highlights from the final assays results include:
• W19-097: 5.29 g/t Au and 34.93 g/t Ag over 4.15 meters
• W19-097: 22.30 g/t Au and 347 g/t Ag over 1.27 meters
• W19-097: 72.2 g/t Au and 55 g/t Ag over 1.33 meters
• W19-097: 4.91 g/t Au and 27.79 g/t Ag over 5.0 meters
• W19-098: 2.45 g/t Au and 28.76 g/t Ag over 6.37 meters
• W19-100: 3.26 g/t Au and 2.47 g/t Ag over 7.02 meters
• W19-100: 2.16 g/t Au and 26.49 g/t Ag over 12.52 meters
StrikePoint CEO, Shawn Khunkhun, states, “Our strong technical team, led by Project Manager Marilyne
Lacasse had a very successful dr ill campaign at the high- grade Willoughby Property. In an incident -free,
on time and on budget program, the team successfully met all objectives of the program. StrikePoint has
validated the high- grade nature of gold mineralization, extended the known zones by over 100 meters ,
developed a strong geological model , and have encountered new high- grade surface mineralization on
the margins of newly expose d ice-free areas. The company now plans to analyze all new information
collected through drilling, mapping, and surface and channel samples with the historical work, which
includes a database of over 1 19 diamond drill holes and over 1,300 surface samples in preparation for a
drill program in 2020 ”
Phase I: North Zone Drilling
Drill hole W19 -097 tested historical grade continuity and stacked mineralized zones. High-grade
intervals of 72.2 g/t gold and 55 g/t silver over 1.33 meters, 22.30 g/t gold and 347 g/t silver over 1.27
meters, and 17.90 g/t gold and 22 g/t silver over 1.0 meters within 5.29 g/t Au and 34.93 g/t Ag over
4.15 meters infilled the historical intercepts and provided additional structural understanding from the
oriented measurements collected during core logging. Robust interval s of 4.91 g/t Gold and 27.79 g/t
Silver over 5.0 Meters and 3.72 g/t Gold and 44.38 g/t Silver over 2.33 Meters highlighted new high -
grade mineralized zones, 10 and 40 meters down-dip respectively from historical intercepts at the North
Zone.
The North zone mineralized trend consists of repetitive stacked lenses of ca lcite-pyrite to pyrite-
sphalerite-galena veins intersecting with a prominent north striking shallowly east -dipping fault zones
with milled sulfides and an east striking moderately north dipping oxidized fault set with oblique
reverse-sinistral kinematics within an early -Jurassic biotite -phyric diorite thought to be part of the
‘Goldslide Suite’ intrusive suite that hosts the adjacent Red Mountain Deposit. The intersection of the
two fault structures may localize high-grade gold mineralization in areas.

Phase II: Wilby Zone Drilling
Drill holes W19-098, W19-100, and W19-101 stepped out 20 meters from the Northern Deep lense and
confirmed historical grades. Significant intervals include 2.45 g/t Gold and 28.76 g/t Silver over 6.37
Meters, 3.26 g/t Gold and 2.47 g/t Silver over 7.02 Meters, 2.16 g/t Gold and 26.49 g/t Silver over
12.52 Meters, and 2.02 g/t Gold and 3.33 g/t Silver over 3.0 Meters . The results show broader lower
grade intercepts than the North zone and are interpreted to be part of the same system. The Wilby zone
is located south of and 400 meters lower in elevation than the North zone. Mineral ization at Wilby
consists primarily of replacement -style massive pyrrhotite -pyrite-sphalerite and minor galena and
massive calcite -pyrrhotite-pyrite-sphalerite-galena veins hosted within the Lower Jurassic sediment
package with distal interaction of biotite-phyric diorite sills.

Willoughby project
Willoughby is located along the eastern margin of the Cambria Icefield , approximately seven kilometers
east of the advanced-staged Red Mountain Deposit that was recently acquired by Ascot Resources from
IDM Mining. The property is underlain by Upper Triassic Stuhini rocks and Lower Jurassic Hazelton
volcano-sedimentary rocks that have been intruded by a n early Jurassic-aged hornblende-feldspar
porphyry, similar to and potentially comagmatic with the Goldslide Intrusive suite at Red Mountain .
Intrusive-related mineralized zones consist of primary pyrite with lesser pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena,
chalcopyrite, native gold. Eight gold and silver mineralized zones have been identified to-date over a
one-kilometer strike-length mineralization trend.
QA/QC
Samples for the 2019 exploration program were all drill core labeled, sawn in half, with one-half placed
in sealed bags and shipped with a chain of custody controls to the laboratory. The remaining drill core is
subsequently securely stored in Stewart, BC. The company im plements a rigorous Quality
Control/Quality Assurance program, including the insertion of standards, blanks, and duplicate at
regular intervals in the sample stream to monitor laboratory performance.
Drill core samples are submitted to SGS Canada Inc. facility in Burnaby, British Columbia, for preparation
and analysis. The SGS facility is accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard for gold assays , and all
analytical methods include quality control materials at set frequencies with established data acceptanc e
criteria. The entire sample is crushed , split into a representative sub-sample using a riffle splitter, and
subsequently, 250g is pulverized. Analysis for gold is by 3 0g fire assay fusion with atomic absorption
(AAS) finish with a lower limit of 0.0 05 ppm and an upper limit of 10 ppm. Samples with gold assays
greater than 10ppm are re -analyzed using a 3 0g fire assay fusion with a gravimetric finish. Analysis for
silver is by 30g fire assay fusion with gravimetric finish with a lower limit of 2 ppm and uppe r limit of
100ppm. Samples with silver assays greater than 10 0ppm are re -analyzed using a gravimetric silver
concentrate method. All samples are also analyzed using a 33 multi-elemental geochemical package by
4-acid digestion (ICP-AES).
